Bologna –
Coach Sergio Scariolo spoke in press conference after the game with Tortona: “Very tough game, very important win with a key effort at the end. We took control of the rebounds late but in time. They were good at chastising our mistakes in the last seconds of the possession, in the moments where concentration must be kept high. On offense beyond the shooting errors we found important shots, constructed well, with great execution of blocks and passes. Starting the series 1-0 is crucial but from tomorrow the chapter will already be different. We have to restart from the first minutes that were really excellent. The rebounds we started to control them when we lowered the quintet paradoxically, without being too much following the math. Belinelli? We wanted to keep him on the court along with Milos from the end taking risks: he was great at being ready, with well-constructed shots. Then you have to be a champion to put up those shots, and he is. In the first half he almost never made a basket but he didn’t lose confidence.”
